Dear Volcanologists,

I am contacting you from Discovery Channel Canada's flagship science and technology television show, Daily Planet. We are currently in the research phase of our "natural hazards" theme week that is going to air on our program in the fall in honour of the 130th anniversary of the Krakatau volcanic eruption of 1883.

We are looking for volcanologists who are heading on a field trip to study the remnants of Krakatau this summer, i.e. Anak Krakatau, or for volcanologists who consider themselves experts on the 1883 volcanic eruption of Krakatau and who may have computer simulations of what this eruption looked like and its devastating effects.

We are also interested in speaking with volcanologists who have other exciting field trips or lab experiments planned this summer, anywhere in the world. Is anyone flying with a plane over an active volcano trying to collect data for instance? Is there anyone studying underwater volcanoes? Is anyone studying any of the world's high-threat volcanoes, i.e. Merapi Volcano, or any of the other volcanic ticking time bombs?

It would be great hearing from you ASAP. Please email me if you or any of your colleagues work on any of the above described activities.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you,

Maja
